There's just something about Nintendo handhelds that make them seem very friendly and easy to use. It doesn't look intimidating like the PSP as the design is more simple and sleek. It's a device for everyone and not just a targeted audience and that's why I love their company so much.

IMO, between the backwards compatibility, ports, and the eShop, the 3DS has the greatest game library of all time.

[@UnlimitedRicePudding_]

Well, if you had/have the GBA, you could play GBA, Gameboy Colour and OG Gameboy games. Now THAT is a library. If you had/have a GBA and 3DS, you have the ability to play 5 generations of games! That's incredible for just two devices.

[@ancientshiv9837]

Yeah, the og DS already had a great library, but the 3DS was that and more.

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

The only thing it is missing is GBA games but apparently, if you get a 3DS hacked it is literally the best GBA emulator, or at least on par with the original DS which means it plays them flawlessly. I am gonna save up to grab a hacked console, load up every game I love from my childhood with the greats of GBA to the greats of the 3DS, and store it in a nice dry-cool-safe place for my future kids or my future niece/nephew. They aren't growing up on mobile game garbage. They are getting the good sh*t when they leave the house. Everything from Harvest Moon & Rune Factory, to (Gen 3&4) Pokemon, to Kid Icarus Uprising, even Megaman Battle Network and FF Tactics Advanced. I just haven't decided if I will throw trash licensed games on there since I don't think we will ever see another Shrek Kart 2 port and that is a good way to teach the difference between sh*t and quality.

My family didn't believe in the giving of allowances. I usually had to wait for Christmas or my birthday to get new games or handheld consoles. The only exception being scooby doo and the cyberchase for ps1. I got that as a reward for making the honor roll in elementary school once. I definitely don't regret asking for a ds for my sixteenth birthday in 2010. I ended up with the new alice in wonderland game(based off of the live action disney movie), pokemon diamond, and pokemon ranger as my first games.

No. Having been someone who used Nintendo consoles/emulators solely to play Pokémon games, over the course of time I've found that DS and GBA have much larger and better library of games than I ever thought, and when you compare Pokémon to it, it just comes out as overrated, and even though I love Pokémon games myself even today, I hate the fact that it overshadows other great titles released on these consoles. The Legend of Zelda games, Metroid games, Castlevania games, The World ends with you, Golden Sun, Super Mario games, Shin Megami Tensei, 999, etc. I could be going on forever.

When the 3DS came out (I was 11), I was so BLOWN AWAY by the 3D feature and I spent all my savings on it on release day. And seriously - I do hold on to that opinion.

I legit thought that I was literally the only one who actually liked the 3D feature. Heck back in late 2019, I was really deciding on which N3DS system that I wanted to upgrade to and long story short, I got the small New 3DS just for that reason, as well as the system just not being a fingerprint magnet.
